Common Q&A’s:
-
Is this bat BBCOR certified for high-school play?
Solid one-piece maple is legal under NFHS and NCAA wood-bat rules; no BBCOR stamp required.
-
How much end-load can I expect compared to a balanced model?
Approximately 5–7% more weight toward the barrel, ideal for power hitters comfortable with slightly slower hand speed.
-
Will the glossy finish chip on heavy use?
Top-coat may show ball marks over time; performance remains unaffected—light sanding and re-seal optional after heavy season.
